Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Now there's no question about it: Preston Sturges is definitely and distinctly the most refreshing new force to hit the American motion pictures in the past five years.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
A beguilingly ribald sex comedy, spattered with characteristic Sturges slapstick.
– Tom Milne,
Time Out,

fresh:
Preston Sturges extended his range beyond the crazy farces that had made his reputation with this romantic 1941 comedy, and his hand proved just as sure.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
13 Nov 2007
fresh:
Third writer-director effort of Preston Sturges [from a story by Monckton Hoffe] is laugh entertainment of top proportions with its combo of slick situations, spontaneous dialog and a few slapstick falls tossed in for good measure.
